As a result of the Russian strike two citizens of France were killed, three more were slightly wounded. This was stated by the head of the administration (OBA) of the part of Kherson region under the control of the AFU Alexander Prokudin.
Prokudin calls the dead and wounded French volunteers.
“Because of the enemy strike on Beryslav killed and injured foreign volunteers. The army of the Russian Federation killed two citizens of France. Three more foreigners received light injuries. Among the wounded is also an activist of the Ukrainian representative office of the organisation,” writes Prokudin in his Telegram channel.
As reported by EADaily, French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet claims that there are no French mercenaries in Ukraine. Asked by Le Parisien newspaper whether French mercenaries are fighting in Ukraine, he said “no.”
“Our ambassador in Moscow has been summoned to the foreign ministry on this issue. This is a way to periodically put pressure on European states. It is one of Russia’s crude manipulations that we are used to. Others will follow, so let’s not allow ourselves to be drawn into it,” Sejourne said.
Earlier, the Russian Defence Ministry said it had carried out a precision strike on a temporary deployment point of foreign fighters in Kharkiv, with French mercenaries at the heart of the attack. As a result of the strike, more than 60 militants were killed and more than 20 wounded.
